Haitch

Correctly.

It is most definately aitch because
1 - that is how it is pronounced
2 - haitch makes u shiver because it sounds so, so very incorrect, almost sort-of chav/slang idk how to describe really
3 - my mum went to one of those old grammar school things and they say aitch
so yep
for reasons obviously 123.213% accurate it is aitch

'aitch', the other way is needlessly combining the name of the letter and the sound it represents

Do you pronounce it "aitch" or "haitch"?

I say "aitch" but I hear a lot of people pronounce it like "haitch" and it sounds weird...

Also see this funny sketch by Robert Webb and David Mitchell on the matter.

The aitch/ haitch within: a short story

I was new at school, and asked to spell out my name, it included an "h"
The nerves came in, how do I say "h"???
But then I found the "h" within, I said aitch.
I felt like my inner alphabet was finally complete.

But then I was corrected by the teacher and annoying class mates, "uh its haitch mate."
I fell to peer pressure and started saying haitch instead.
(lol now I think of it, it make sense though, cos the way you pronounce haitch, the phonics matches the beginning of other words like hat, or howarts, xD)

But the truth is, say the "h" you feel inside, the "h" you believe, even if it may evolve.

The End

Spoiler

But the truth is say the "h" you feel with in, haitch/ or aitch, what you feel "h" is
